Ever come up with a costume, but lack a name?

I did the other day. Decided I wanted to go with a 'Batman meets Green Arrow' theme (Archery framework, maybe some Gadgeteering, Swinging, Lightning Reflexes) and I think I nailed the look. But I have no idea what to call her.

If anyone wants to toss out name ideas I'd appreciate it quite a bit. :)

    The seventh Sanctum is a good place to go for a quick idea or two.

    Obsidian Arrow
    Shadow Bow

    And then it's easy to take ones you like, and change them a little bit. Like, i want to keep a reference to the archery, so maybe
    Mistress Quiver

    hehe i dunno, i'm bad at names too, but they aren't that hard to come up with, you just have to throw a lot until one sticks.

    Eugh, I get that problem ALL the time.

    I'm just going to wing a few suggestions off the top of my head, see if anything suits your fancy:

    Grey Huntress*, Knight-watch, Darkfletch, Grey Dart, The Wyvern, The Grey Wyvern, Foxbat, Hard Rain***


    *I realize "Huntress" is already a comic book character, but unless my brain is mistaken she looks nothing like her. As for the "Grey" - that kind of light blue feels more associated with grey than actual blue in my head. Feel free to swap names to some form of blue if that better suits.


    **Sort of a pun on the Batman vibe, the idea of a Night-watchman, and a D&D style city guard (who inevitably is up on the walls with a bow 24/7 for... some reason) (Originally there was no hyphen in this name, but the board text censors it if rammed together.)

    ***Arrows... falling... pointy... yeah I'll get my coat >.>

    when i think of a dark superhero i think of a bird of prey, raven, owl, falcon. i also think of a strategist. Bishop, Rook. but these all seem more edge towards males. females i tend to use terms that refer to a woman of high statues (Lady, Dame,mistress), or a play on a normal word to imply a woman(pretty much anything you can sensibly slap an "A" or an "ette" to the end of.

    i'd personally mind blank and remake the character as a male, but if i were forced to, i'd go with... *mind blank* i see your frustration.

    If anyone is still curious, I decided to go with the name Night Lynx.

    From Wikipedia:

    "The lynx is not a guardian of secrets so much as the one who knows them ... This power and ability to remain unseen attracted ancient warriors to adopt the lynx and, thus, they believed, its nature. Cunning, solitary hunters, lynx have large eyes and a keen sense of hearing which enables them to hunt at night."

    Sure if you want to be a Black Cat, I do like the costume even if it does look like Batgirl from the movie

    Ah well, I was going to suggest Longbeau, but never mind :p
    Edit: If he was a narcissistic man natch ;) Might make for a interesting nemesis who wanted her for a partner and wouldn't take no for an answer, sort of a twist on hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.

    That's kind of the idea, she's supposed to somewhat resemble the bat family of costumes. Of course, none of them use a bow and arrows, but that was the archetypical 'look' I was pursuing.
